Cyber Essentials & The New Compliance Landscape: Preparing for 2026
With the new Cyber Security and Resilience Bill reaching Parliament, Cyber Essentials is no longer just ‘best practice’—it’s your foundational defense.
This webinar will explore what Cyber Essentials requires, why it is increasingly linked to contracts and customer assurance, and what the upcoming framework changes could mean for your organisation.
Cyber Essentials is now frequently required for tenders, supplier onboarding, and customer assurance. Certification demonstrates that your organisation meets a recognised baseline for cyber security.
The framework focuses on fundamental controls that help prevent the majority of commodity threats, including phishing, malware, misconfigurations, and unauthorised access.
With further changes expected in April 2026, organisations pursuing certification this year should understand what may shift and how to prepare in advance.
While the assessment appears simple, achieving certification often requires clear evidence, correct interpretation, and alignment between policy and technical reality.
Cyber Essentials provides a stepping stone toward broader frameworks such as ISO 27001, helping organisations build structured governance and long-term resilience.
